The conversations at the conference with the theme “The
Emerging Pace of Insurance” will be focused on shifting the work being done in
the insurance sector in Nigeria from trying to correct the wrongs to remaking
insurance into an effective system that works for its stakeholders.
According to the Convener, Ekerete Ola Gam-Ikon, an
Insurance Expert and Management Consultant, this year’s hybrid event (in-person
at Abuja) is featuring young entrepreneurs keen to share experiences and
expectations that will enable insurance relationships and partnerships deliver
more value in this post COVID-19 era, especially through the engagement of the
huge population of digital-oriented youths in Nigeria.
As in previous editions, Insurance September 2021 has
attracted a rich array of Speakers
including Mrs. Bolaji Sofoluwe, Co-founder/Managing Director of UK-based
ETK Group Limited; Mr. Lawrence Bitrus Atafache, CEO of Creatify Inc; Ms. Eno
Essien, CEO of Rheytrak Limited; Dr. Sunday Seno Agbonika, CEO of Collars and
Paws Limited; and Ms. Hauwa Bako Mohammed, COO of Bako Kontagora Development
Foundation, who will be the Moderator of this landmark edition.
The Commissioner for Insurance/CEO of National Insurance
Commission (NAICOM) is expected to deliver an extraordinary message to this
year’s gathering and hopefully participants will receive clarifications on
developments in the insurance sector as they did during the 2019 edition.
According to the statement sent and endorsed by Ekerete Ola
Gam-Ikon, an Insurance Expert and Management Consultant saying Insurance
September, envisioned “to be the leading dialogue that educates risk bearers
and measures risk takers towards improving their mutual experiences”, is
becoming the beacon of hope for insurance policyholders and has helped reshape
their behavior since 2017 when the inaugural edition was held in Lagos.
Ekerete is optimistic that this 5th edition will emphasize
the impact of the affinity between Nigeria’s young population and technology
(Insurtech) as the significant advantage for the insurance sector to leapfrog
and take its rightful place as the financial instrument that keeps economies
resilient even in these post COVID-19 times.
There is no doubt that the insurance sector in Nigeria needs
more awareness campaigns and Insurance September is proving to be a distinctive
initiative.
